    Author : Fredrik Petersson; [2023]
    Keywords : LWR; SMR; Water chemistry; Radiolysis; Boric acid; LWR; SMR; vattenkemi; Radiolys; Borsyra; Hydroxylradikal;

    Abstract : Ett problem vid byggandet av nya kärnkraftverk för elproduktion är de stora investeringskostnaderna samt den långa tiden det att få tillstånd för en reaktor och bygga den. Nyligen färdigställdes den tredje reaktorn vid Olkiluoto I Finland, den tog 18 år att färdigställa exklusive tiden att få tillstånd för reaktorn. READ MORE

  3. 2. Standardized flexibility - Modular prefabricated concrete-panel housing in Årstafältet 6

    University essay from KTH/Arkitektur

    Author : Yingnan Chen; [2023]
    Keywords : Modular housing; concrete panel; Årstafältet; co-living;

    Abstract : Concrete panel system is a common way of developing housing. From the beginning of its history, it was a good solution for a pressing need for efficient, affordable, and mass-produced housing to accommodate the growing population and address the shortage of dwellings. READ MORE

  4. 3. Beyond Survival : Designing Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Temporary Housing

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för design (DE)

    Author : Mahnoosh Ramgar; [2023]
    Keywords : Post-disaster temporary housing; natural disaster; design strategies; environmentally friendly design; renewable materials;

    Abstract : In the aftermath of natural disasters, providing temporary housing to displaced people is essential to alleviate human suffering. However, in some cases, the chosen post-disaster temporary housing strategy may not be suitable for the local conditions, which can worsen the negative impacts, particularly when decision-makers need to change their original plan due to the uncertainty of post-disaster conditions.

  6. 5. Safe Reinforcement Learning for Human-Robot Collaboration : Shielding of a Robotic Local Planner in an Autonomous Warehouse Scenario

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Lukas Vordemann; [2022]
    Keywords : Human-Robot Collaboration; Safe Reinforcement Learning; Shielding; Risk Management; Autonomous Warehouse; Människa-Robot Samarbete; Säker Förstärkningsinlärning; Avskärmning; Riskhantering; Autonomt Lager;

    Abstract : Reinforcement Learning (RL) is popular to solve complex tasks in robotics, but using it in scenarios where humans collaborate closely with robots can lead to hazardous situations. In an autonomous warehouse, mobile robotic units share the workspace with human workers which can lead to collisions, because the positions of humans or non-static obstacles are not known by the robot.
